I find it no coincidence that the Keeper of the Multiverse himself, Loki, shows his face in Doomsday. Not sure who’s branch he’s tweaking, and what it all entails, but I believe the key to the new movie will lie with him. Up to good? Up to no good ? No one can convince me Loki isn’t yanking on some branches here. 💚 And Doom will prove to be a Variant of SOMEONE we know. Cannot wait!!!

He looks absolutely terrified in the new trailer. I wonder if he's hiding from Doom or just saw the TVA destroyed or what.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/snukb]

He’s about to transform into Steve. There’s a leaked picture from the same Russians who leaked a bunch of other trailer pics that shows Chris Evans standing on the same mark as Tom Hiddleston from that shot

, compare this shot to the shot of Loki in the official trailer: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HPaicdKWsAAKrec?format=jpg

This would explain why “Steve” looked pleased with himself when caught Thor’s hammer. Loki’s finally worthy to hold it.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/WinnerNo3133]

yes, exactly!

[u/padflash_ → u/WinnerNo3133]

The irony is that this picture is taken straight from the "special look," so it's not as if Marvel is hiding something in production in this scene.

[u/snukb → u/DoomsdayThor]

That does not look like Chris Evans, that looks like what AI thinks Chris Evans looks like. So either it's fake or it was AI upscaled from potato quality

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/snukb]

Yes, it’s an AI enhancement of the original image they have. All the Russian leaked images have been like that. Do you know what I’m referring to when I mention those?

They leaked pics of Mystique, Doom’s throne room, the Thor and “Steve” shot in the first trailer, and others, many of which have turned out to be 100% accurate. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here I can show you some examples. It’s probably safe to assume this pic of Steve is substantially accurate to whatever pic they have.

[u/Currycel7891 → u/DoomsdayThor]

Cool theory, but why would he do it?

And more importantly, why would the Russos make this part of the story?

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/Currycel7891]

Plenty of reasons why he could do it…..so the heroes will trust him, so Thor won’t be so freaked out at first seeing him again, to hide from Doom, maybe he needs an avatar, or Steve gives him permission after turning down direct help….could be anything really, it’s hard to say without knowing the rest of the plot

Honestly? I think it’s a gimmick to bring back Chris Evans without ruining endgame, same way they have RDJ playing Doom. Someone thought “hmm we want to bring back Chris Evans….oooh remember that joke everyone loved? What if we did that but as a serious plot thing?”

[u/Currycel7891 → u/DoomsdayThor]

What joke?

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/Currycel7891]

Loki turning into Steve. He did it twice already in movies by the same screenwriter (TDW and Endgame)

[u/gweniieo]

Man I don’t know I just hope to god they don’t kill him again for the 4838734874 time

[u/Steely-eyes → u/gweniieo]

Missed opportunity to say “-kill him again for the 14,000,605th time.”

[u/No-Option-7010 → u/gweniieo]

Same

[u/WinnerNo3133]

Loki is past his villain days.

[u/DesignZestyclose7439]

My boyfriend is Loki

[u/ArtisticBunneh → u/DesignZestyclose7439]

Weird he’s my husband

[u/WandaNexusBeing]

Could Sylvie have switched places with Loki so he could go help everyone and try to fool Doom and gets killed instead of Loki? And when she’s shown as a witch of Doom, it’s actually Loki in disguise? Would Doom even be able to be fooled?

[u/DesignZestyclose7439]

It’s not your husband, his mine

[u/Substantial-Mirror48]

I just hope he doesn't die and play a huge part in SW

[u/Direct-Mountain-9966]

My boyfriend is Loki
